Somebody go fetch the Mulgrew ragin' gif

Similar situation as Allan. I would rather have Allan and Jakubiak than Chalmers and Wighton but we need to upgrade and the latter are still under contract.

Yep that's what he says anyway.

McPake clearly very enthusiastic about the new facility and claims it's already led to some players signing for us. Naysayers take note.

If he is willing to sign a longer extension I'd be delighted with that. If not and he fancies another challenge and we can get some cash for him then fair play and he would go with my best wishes. Lewis Strapp and Cameron Harper are two LBs out of contract (i think) in the summer who I think would do a job for us. I wonder if Airdrie have a sell on clause for him?

No.

Oxford and Lincoln after Edwards apparently for around £100k.

Totally agree, looking back over the season that is the one that rankles the most. Airdrie deserved winners in the end but we should have been out of sight and Airdrie down to ten men in the first half. Could quite easily end up being the difference between 4th and 5th.

Cup final for us I think. If Airdrie win or draw we'll just be looking to consolidate 5th over the remaining games.

Wild take to suggest Dunfermline will be worried about 9th now. Are you really suggesting there's a chance of Morton, Ayr, QP and ICT all stringing a run together to go above us? We're playing 3 of them (2 at home), we just need to win one of those to be safe.

McPake out

He has scored in 4 games this season but one was the cup game. Another pain in the ar*e.

Upgrade on Carling please.

Good shout but afraid not. He scored 3 at EEP that season across 2 games and 1 of those was the challenge cup. He scored 2 in AJ's last game. He also scored against us in the cup the following season.

If Brian Graham scores in this he'll have scored in all four matches between us this season. Off the top of my head I can't remember anyone else doing that for or against us. Right pain the ar*e so he is.

The hilarity of punting Raith out the playoffs would be worth getting bodied 38 times next season.

Virtually guaranteed at least 8th now unless ICT turn into Barcelona c.2009 for the next 5 games.

Let me stop you there...

Tremendous.

I'll admit I was a bit sceptical at the start of the season about Otoo in midfield. Partly because he looked so good at LCB in the back three, so I thought why not just keep him there. But him and Hamilton have been superb and I couldn't agree more with this. POTY will be weird this season with so many in and out the team. But I can't see past the pair of them to be picking up most of the awards.

Partick got a total of 2 points from their last round of games vs those teams.

And look how that ended. A cautionary tale.

The rare games like these are why we fans of diddy teams suffer through the utter misery we more often have to live through. Poor form from Dundee Utd to deny that to a thousand Raith fans just because they are absolutely rattled.

Sigh...

I'm not sure that will be necessary. For ICT to get into the mid 40s they'd have to win at least 4 of their last 9. They've won 7 of 29 so far. I reckon another win and a couple of shit fest draws and you'll be fine. Win on Saturday and you can begin to look upwards again. Likewise a win for us, in what's possibly our hardest remaining game, and I think we have our sights on 4th place. Crazy league.
